Artics in lane three

[timskemp]

Are they ever allowed? This was southbound a couple of weekends ago near the Silverstone exit on the M1. Traffic was stationary - but does that make it ok?

Regi DK06 EXE is my guess?

The right-hand lane of a motorway with three or more lanes MUST NOT be used (except in prescribed circumstances) if you are driving

• any vehicle drawing a trailer
• a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes but not exceeding 7.5 tonnes, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter
• a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes
• a passenger vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver
• a passenger vehicle with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 7.5 tonnes which is constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter

it is against the law.
The same harm done by someone doing 32 in a 30

I believe so, I guess it depends on interpretation of whether the motorway is 2 or 3 lane then - and if it still counts as 3-lane then it would depend on which lane is closed?

well i thought people frowned at those ignoring one law and accepting others.
Afterall people using mobile phones never did anyone any harm, until just before they crashed

well if you could be done for drink driving even when your car is off, and you are asleep in the back seat, then driving is being anywhere in the car.
Or does that just apply when it is drink driving charge related?

That's drunk in charge of a motor vehicle. For which you can be disqualified from driving.
